Do not order anything from these people. I ordered a frog garden table set twice. The first set came completely broken. We returned them thinking that we just had a mishap with it and reordered a second set and they to came COMPLETELY BROKEN ALL 3 PIECES. THERE WAS NO PROPER PACKAGING FOR THESE AND THE BOX IT'S SELF LOOKED REALLY OLD AND THE BOXES INSIDE WERE NOT EVEN INTACT EITHER. I WILL NEVER ORDER ANYTHING THAT COMES FROM THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN.
I'm the biggest Christmas fan going. But Never trust these people. I bought a Christmas alarm clock for $25. It wasn't a alarm clock it was a piece of garbage. I called to complain it cost $15 to return it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.
No where in their order on line that requires anything bought before Christmas had to be returned before Christmas. Normal is 30 days! Biggest rip off of $202.00.
I'll never o business with them again and will encourage anyone else to not buy from them!
I ordered 2 nutcrackers on Dec 3. My payment was put through but I didn't receive a confirmation email or tracking information from the site like it said I would. Dec 6 I did an online chat and the person gave me my order number and said I would receive tracking information when they were ready to ship. I didn't receive any emails. One nutcracker arrived on Dec 15. The box wasn't marked and no invoice or any paperwork. I waited a day to see if the other showed and it hasn't. I sent an email to the company and a ticket number was started. Today I received an apology email and it stated they would resend the item. Ten minutes later I received another email stating they could not resend the item to Canadian addresses and would start the process of reimbursing my money. The nutcracker I was waiting for is no longer on the website.
I am not expecting to be reimbursed from such a poorly run company with very poor customer service and an extreme lack of communication.
Hello Julie. I'm so sorry to hear that you did not receive your item. I assure you if we have promised to reimburse you, you will be reimbursed any money owed. We take this feedback to heart and we will focus on ensuring the best communication possible to our customers. I'm very sorry to hear that you feel that didn't happen in this case.
Stay away, do not order anything from Christmas Central. I ordered a nativity set that should have been delivered a week ago, tracking number says returning to sender, no idea why and Customer service unwilling to do anything resolve. Send a few Emails to this company, received zero resolutions and very little communication from them, disputed the charge and bought something elsewhere. Many other options/companies to purchase Christmas decorations, stay away from this one.
Hello Kev. I am sorry to hear that you had an issue with delivery of your item. If you provide your order number I'd be more than happy to look into what went wrong here. We do apologize that there was a shipping mishap and you feel you were unable to find a resolution. Customer service is a priority and we would like to fix this for you. Best,
Over charged, never sent items, 3rd party call center answers their calls. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS SITE! I ended up calling my bank and turning it in as a fraudulent charge. I repeat DO NOT order from this site!
I have contacted the company repeatedly over an order for an item that was advertised as a 2 DAY DELIVERY. The item was sent to another person as part of a gift.
Ten days later, after a replacement, was purchased... they ship it.
They refuse to intercept the package and tell me i have to return it even though it is not shipped to me or pay for it. What a loser level of customer service and they sell on Overstock.Com... BUYER BEWARE.
Hello Roberta. I' m sorry to hear that you did not receive your gift in time. We can not intercept the package, unfortunately. It would have to be returned and you would be refunded. Thank you.
They funnel payments through Gordon Companies; sent ficticious tracking number; don't answer customer service phone during regular business hours
Hello J. J. we do not "funnel payments". Gordon Companies is our parent company. We do have customer service agents working around the clock. If you'd like assistance, please message your order number and the issue you are having, and I can look into your issue for you.
Ordered a Christmas stocking from Christmas central, through walmart.com on 11/28. As of 12/6, it has not been shipped so I sent an email inquiry about my order. I received an email back stating the order was to be filled through their other warehouse and they were checking on it and would get back to me. Several hours later, I got an email from Walmart that my order was cancelled because it hadn't been shipped yet and the seller was unable to provide an estimated shipping date.
Ordered a christmas tree, it arrived a week later in a box that was cut in half, was open and had multiple punctured holes on each side. Tree was pre-lit so needless to say lots of lights didn't survive. There was no protective wrapping on the tree it was just stuffed inside the box and box looked like it was run over by a truck. Tried to return the tree, but its impossible to get a hold of anyone. Was told the return label takes 24-48 hours to be emailed. That changed to 5-7 business days after the initial 48 hours were over. Now over a week later still don't have the return label and damaged tree still sitting in its original box in my garage. Not sure what to do at this point. Take them to court? Anyone has any suggestions?
Hello Olia. I'm sorry to hear that you are having difficulty returning your tree. Can you send your order number and I will look into this immediately? Thank you.
Order a Christmas decoration that never shipped, when calling to enquire we finally we able to speak to someone after several attempts who gave us a complete run around. Finally asked to cancel and was told they would need to call warehouse to see if that was possible. Ended up getting hung up on. What a scam.
Hello Dan. I'm sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your customer service experience with us. I can assure you we would not hang up on anyone on purpose. Please provide your order number and I'll look into what went wrong as soon as possible. Thank you.
I paid extra for these candles compared to similar candles on other sites because they were advertised to have a 61" cord but the delivered candles only had a 36" cord. Now I would have to pay shipping to return them so I lose.

Purchased a tree in October. Lights burnt out 2 days after it was put up, which was last week. They wouldn't help because it was after 7 days of purchase. Who puts up a Christmas tree in October? Why would you have it available in October if you don't stand by your product?
Hello MJ T., I'm sorry to hear the lights on your tree burnt out. I can look into this for you. Can you send us your order number please? Thanks,

Terrible Customer Service when trying to return items. We ordered the exact same item (red and green, C9 LED lights) according to their specs on their website. When we received the lights, the description on the receipt & labeling on the packaging was the same, so we kept them in the original wrapping, waiting for the upcoming Christmas. When recently unwrapping them, it was obvious the red and green lights were different sizes. We called Christmas Central; talked to customer service & a supervisor asking to exchange for the correct size, but were denied due to it had passed the 30 day return policy. We did not want a refund, only to exchange for the correct matching sizes. Asked the supervisor to talk to her boss, but the "Owner" does not take emails or phone calls! Do not buy from this company. They do not stand behind their product, not do they try to accommodate the customer!
Hello Ed. I'm sorry to hear that you were disappointed in your experience with Christmas Central. Can you provide your order number and we can look into resolving this issue? Thank you,
I bought 3 sets of frosted mini Brite Star designer series lights in 2018. In 2019 none of the strands had a full set of lights working. When I contacted Christmas Central they said they can't do anything about it except tell me to check the bulbs. I asked about the 2 year guarantee and they said that's just the manufacture warranty, In order t return the strands the warranty says they have to be faulty for 2 years before I can return them. What a waste of money.
Hello Tina. I'm sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with the manufacturer's return policy. Can you send us your order number please so we can look into this? Thank you.
6 26" swags stuffed into a 19" box, twigs crumbles, bottom portion of swags were bent, necks were twisted/not flat. Not packaged in the correct shipping box to accommodate their length/disfigurement - I spent 163.06$ - spoke to the company & sent 20 pics, No full refund. Choices: self pay return label or they send me a label and IF they deem them disfigured I get a full refund
Placed 2 orders thru Walmart.com.
Received incorrect items. When I contacted to exchange I was charged for return shipping for THEIR ERROR!
This company is the absolute WORST!
DO NOT do business with them and warn everyone you can regarding their lack of business ethics and fairness to customers.
Also, filed a complaint with Better Business Bureau & was informed that complaints against this company are numerous!

I placed an order through Google Checkout/Express for two pink patio umbrellas through this website (Christmas Centeal).
First, google said about 3 times that my card wouldn't go through (not sure why!) Then, my money was on hold for for this order for an entire weekend (odd if the card didn't work, right?). Finally, hold was released and I never received the umbrellas.
There is no contact info on the website to reach out to see what happened, or to have someone push the order through. I just think they didn't want to sell it to me with Googles coupon code/sale they were offering. Or it's a scam website.

I ordered Christmas ornaments and one arrived broken. After reading reviews about the awful customer service, I was a little apprehensive about a return for store credit. I left a message and also decided to e-mail customer service. I received a response via e-mail the next day with a request for additional info, such as packing slip details in order to identify the packer and have them do additional training to prevent future packing issues. Since the packer did not include a packing slip, I provided some info and pics. Sophia was great. She apologized for the breakage and provided several options for resolution. Additionally, she was out of the office when I e-mailed a question. Someone else responded to notify me of this. I thought that was above and beyond. I chose the refund, since I wanted to purchase some other items. I had my refund within 3 working days and purchased additional items. I received those is less time on this shipment. All items were shipped properly. No breakage. I'm very happy with the ornaments, garland, and customer service. A number of recent reviews on trustspot are positive. My experience with customer service was a good one.
Hello Sophia. While it is disappointing to hear that an item arrived broken, we appreciate you reaching out to us and allowing us to make it right. We are happy to hear that we were able to resolve the issue and we do hope you shop with us again soon.

Answer: Hi Janice, I believe we spoke on Facebook as well. We are not experiencing any shipping issues. We did have some issues in November/December 2015 following a large snowstorm (7 feet of snow) that destroyed our warehouse, but since then we have completely rebuilt, plus added a new warehouse system that has eliminated many of the issues. Please feel free to talk with customer service via live chat on our website, email [email protected] or phone 1-844-726-8297.
